The thing that HOLDS the cable in P is in the shift lever mechanism. If that lock has been worn away by someone who did not undersand that the knob needed to be lifted to get if out of park then you will either have to repair the lever mechanism or replace it. I have a good one here if you need it. If the lever locks in place, but the tranny still doesn't want to stay in P then the cable need to be adjusted. The instructions for adjusting this are in the Bentley manual, which you should have anyway. Bad shifts can ba caused by several things: check your ATF level with the engine warm and running in Neutral. Check the ATF smell and drain it and check/clean the strainer. Check the Vacuum modulator adjustment--see the Bentley manual--this is somewhat involved.
